Pushpa 2 generated significant buzz with its grand launch event in Patna and impressive box office numbers, but its release was also marred by controversy. A stampede occurred at the Sandhya Theatre in Hyderabad, resulting in the death of a woman and injuries to her son. Allu Arjun was arrested on charges of negligence but was later granted interim bail. Also, a scene showing the protagonist urinating in a swimming pool with a police officer present sparked outrage.

Despite being embroiled in controversy, Pushpa 2 has achieved significant box office success, surpassing Rs 1,500 crore globally as per reports.
